About this listen
In 1623, Shakespeare’s First Folio was published, preserving 36 plays and, some believe, concealing a secret.
For centuries, researchers have claimed that hidden within its pages is a cipher pointing to another author, Sir Francis Bacon.
This episode follows the origins of the Baconian theory, from Bacon’s real writings on cryptography to the treasure hunts beneath Chepstow Castle and the codebreakers who tested the legend.
A study of obsession, evidence, and the search for truth inside one of literature’s oldest mysteries.
